AES Decrypt

Decrypt AES ciphertext instantly with the same passphrase.

Tool

Use this AES Decrypt tool to reverse AES-encrypted Base64 text using the original passphrase. It is useful for browser-side decryption tests, reversible development workflows, encrypted sample validation, and confirming that AES-encrypted values can be decoded back into readable text correctly.

About this tool

Use this AES Decrypt tool to reverse AES-encrypted Base64 text using the original passphrase. It is useful for browser-side decryption tests, reversible development workflows, encrypted sample validation, and confirming that AES-encrypted values can be decoded back into readable text correctly.

Use aes decrypt when you need a fast browser-based result without extra setup. It works well for quick checks, one-off tasks, and routine formatting or calculation work.

Why use this tool

How to use

  1. Enter the passphrase on the first line
  2. Paste the Base64 ciphertext below it
  3. Click Run Tool to decrypt the value
  4. Review the plaintext output
  5. Use the exact same passphrase that was used for encryption

Examples

Example

Input

secret123
Base64 encrypted text

Output

hello world

Useful for reversing an AES-encrypted sample.

Example

Input

demo-key
Base64 encrypted text

Output

{"name":"John","role":"admin"}

Useful for checking that encrypted structured text returns correctly.

Common errors

The wrong passphrase is used

Fix: Use the exact same passphrase that was used during encryption.

The ciphertext is not valid Base64 or not actually AES output

Fix: Paste valid Base64 ciphertext produced by the matching AES encrypt workflow.

The input format is reversed

Fix: Put the passphrase first and the ciphertext below it.

The output is empty or broken

Fix: This usually means the passphrase or ciphertext format is wrong.

The user expects another cipher to work here

Fix: Use the matching decrypt tool for the actual cipher.

FAQ

What does AES Decrypt do?

It decrypts AES Base64 ciphertext back into readable text.
